I take a flax seed supplement and have never had anything but positive effects, better hair and skin etc. Are you taking it with food? I think that is suggested.0

I am taking flax seed and have been taking it for a little over a year now. From the start I did get an upset stomach but nothing major but it soon went away after my body adjusted. I did take it after eating as suggested. But from taking it I have some great benefits ....my hair , skin and nails are so much better than they were before.0

It really depends how your body takes to it, some have an unpleasant experience in the bathroom :noway: and others get possitive results that dont end in taking peptobismol :sad:0

I use flaxseed every day. I do not experience any of those really extreme reactions. It is meant to help with digestion though, so you should try it for a few days and see how your body reacts.0

what kind of flaxseed do you get an where do you buy it?0 -
My husband bought me some the other day that you just put in food. I haven't tried it yet though. If it causes alot of bathroom issues I wonder if it would help with constipation! Anybody know?0

I bought mine at Wal-Mart, in the flour/sugar section. I think it was $1.40 (milled flax seed). When I make fruit smoothies, I just add 3 tbsps. Blends right in. I have not experenced any adverse effects.0

If you exceed a certain amount of ground flaxseed intake, then yes, it can give you some uh, stomach issues. A littel bit - 1-3 T like mhlegal suggested is good and helps with regularity.
I personally like Bob's Red Mill ground flaxseed. Make sure to keep it refrigerated.0 -
I buy the ground flaxseed too. Ive bought different brands. I use about 2 tbs daily and you can buy it most supermarkets. If not try a Whole foods or other health food store0
